It was moved by Councilman McCorquodale, seconded by Councilman Sylvester, and carried that the hearing be reopened. Attorney Caplan stated that Mr. Vener was of the opinion that any planning for this area may be premature at this time without a full consideration of the type of use to which the land may ultimately be used for. He requested that any type of consideration of the plan lines for Tidelands Avenue from "G" Street to the north City limits be postponed at this time. Mr. E. G. Stubbs, representing the Santa Fe Railway, stated that Santa Fe had not been notified of the hearing held before the Planning Commission or the City Council. Mr. Stubbs asked if the proposed alignment of Tidelands Ave- nue was in conformity with the alignment proposed by the Port District and if it is still intended to use the "F" Street overpass over the Freeway. Administrative Officer Ross stated that the proposed alignment was generally in conformity with the adopted plan of the Port District and that it is the intention to proceed with use of the "F" Street bridge across the Freeway if approval is given by the Public Utilities Commission. Mr. Stubbs requested that the Clerk send a copy of the proposal for the alignment of Tidelands Avenue to the Los Angeles Office of the Santa Fe Railway. Mr. Sam Verier stated that he owns bay frontage to the mean high tide line and that he intends to fight to retain it even though in direct conflict with the Port Authority. If he is successful in keeping this property~he feels the present proposed alighment of Tidelands Avenue will be meaningless. Mr..Vener urged the Council to use all of their abilities to get Tidelands Avenue open between "G" and "F" Streets with a one-way street taking the Rohr traffic across the railroad bridge on "E" Street to Broadway. Also that consideratiom be given for the right-of-way along the old Coronado Belt line and along the easterly boundary of the land he farms for a one-way street going north from Rohr Cor- poration.

City Attorney Lindberg was instructed to research the legality of the hearing before the Planning Con~nission considering that the Santa Fe Railway was not officially notified of the hearing. ~/~UBLIC HEARING - Appeal by Lassman, Larson and Shaw to Planning Co~mission action granting Sentinel Savings and Loan a setback reduction at the southwest corner of Rogan Road and Bonita Road This being the time and place, as advertised, for a hearing on the appeal by Lassman, Larson and Shaw to Planning Cormmission action granting Sentinel Sav- ings and Loan a setback reduction at the southwest corner of Rogan Road and Bonita Road, Mayor McAllister declared the hearing open.

Councilman Sylvester suggested that possibly in the construction of the freeway, the grade might be made low enough so that if, at a future date, it is necessary to put a bridge over it, it would not be necessary to tear up the freeway.
